Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review on the academic journey of artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture and to highlight the challenges and opportunities in adopting AI-based advancement in agricultural systems and processes. Design/methodology/approach:...

Photon absorptions leading to singlet and triplet excitonic states in organic solar cells are presented in this study. Applying Fermi’s golden rule, the rates of absorption of singlet and triplet excitons are derived using singlet exciton-photon and triplet...

Using the derived expression for the light yield in a scintillator, the influence of linear radiative and non-radiative (quenching) rates on the nonproportionality in light yield is studied. It is found that if the excitation created within the electron track initiated by a γ-photon incident on...

High Yielding Varieties (HYVs) particularly of wheat and rice have brought about a tremendous increase in food production. As these HYVs are highly responsive to chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation, the cropping pattern/rotations have changed to maximize farm income. Such system of...

Unless more effective ways can be found to deliver high-yielding seed to farmers in developing countries, the hoped-for “green revolution” in maize production will remain elusive. This comprehensive reference examines the spectrum of technical, economic, and institutional issues that will...
